Set on a quiet, family-friendly street in Kanata Lakes, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath detached home offers the kind of lot, layout and location families rarely find together: a WIDER-AT-THE-BACK PIE-SHAPED LOT, a private hedged backyard, and the south corner of the yard oriented toward PARK VIEWS. Built by Claridge as the Newcastle II model, the home was extended 2 feet at the back across all 3 levels, adding space where families need it. Curb appeal is warm and established, with mature trees, landscaping, an interlock walkway and double garage. Inside, the home feels BRIGHT, spacious and practical, with a CARPET-FREE design, oak hardwood on the main level, a generous living and dining area, plus a front office. The kitchen offers a centre island, added counter and cabinet space, new lighting, and a sunny breakfast area with side windows and backyard access. Beyond, the extended family room enjoys enlarged rear windows, natural light and a cozy gas fireplace. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a cathedral ceiling, large windows, a walk-in closet and private ensuite, while 3 additional bedrooms offer space for children, guests or work-from-home needs. The main level and primary bedroom have been NEWLY PAINTED, giving the home a clean, refreshed feel. The full unfinished basement offers potential for future living space, storage, a gym or workshop. Outdoors, the backyard is a true highlight, with mature hedges, an interlock patio and an open feel from the south corner toward the park. Key updates include roof 2015, furnace and dishwasher 2019, attic insulation 2019, kitchen light 2021, stairs and second-level flooring 2022, hot water tank 2022, LED lighting in most areas, exterior light timer, plus garage and basement light sensors. Located within a TOP school catchment and minutes to parks, trails, Kanata Centrum, Loblaws, Costco, transit, Terry Fox Drive, Highway 417 and Kanata's high-tech hub, this is a great opportunity in one of Kanata's most desirable communities.
